But then Ra clearly uses understand/understood in the normal manner - the dictionary definition - throughout in the material. So, quite obviously the common definition does not portray the intended nuance.
i.e.
"The body is a creature of the mind’s creation. It has its biases. The biological bias must be first completely understood and then the opposite bias allowed to find full expression in understanding"
"In all cases responsibility then becomes retroactive from that point backwards in the continuum so that distortions are to be understood by the entity and dissolved as the entity learns."
"The intelligent energy of the mind/body/spirit complex totality draws its existence from intelligent infinity or the Creator. This Creator is to be understood, both in macrocosm and microcosm, to have, as we have said, two natures: the unpotentiated infinity which is intelligent; this is all that there is."
"Positive orientation then provides the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the anger be understood, accepted, and integrated with the mind/body/spirit complex"
"Each entity then was offered many more subtle ways of demonstrating either service towards others or service to self with the distortion of the manipulation of others. As each lesson was understood, those lessons of sharing, of giving, of receiving in free gratitude— each lesson could be rejected in practice."
"It is paramount that it be understood that it is not desirable or helpful to the growth of the understanding, may we say, of an entity by itself to control thought processes or impulses except where they may result in actions not consonant with the Law of One."
"The faculty of faith or will needs to be understood, nourished, and developed in order to have an entity which seeks past the boundary of third density. "
"It is, shall we say, a shortcut to simply ignore or overcome any desire. It must instead be understood and accepted."
"Each experience will be sequentially understood by the growing and seeking mind/body/spirit complex in terms of survival, then in terms of personal identity, then in terms of social relations, then in terms of universal love, then in terms of how the experience may beget free communication, then in terms of how the experience may be linked to universal energies, and finally in terms of the sacramental nature of each experience."
"The violet-ray body may perhaps be understood as what you might call the Buddha body or that body which is complete."
So not only does Ra use the term, with the common meaning, throughout - they clearly indicate that it is a necessary function to facilitate acceptance. And that acceptance is, of course, a requirement to remove the distortions which limit ability to experience any higher vibration.
